    From Chad Adams@1:19/37 to All on Mon Dec 2 21:24:44 2019
    Hello, All.

    I am using NNTP. Whenever I post or reply, the time/date is exactly 6 hours
    off from my time. Any idea why or how I can adjust the time settings?

    Hello Chad,

    @TZUTC: -0600

    I am using NNTP. Whenever I post or reply, the time/date is exactly 6 hours off from my time. Any idea why or how I can adjust the time settings?

    Looking at your TZUTC above it is -0600. Is the time on your phone or tablet correct? Something in the works is confused about the time zone.

    Every nntp server I've used sofar operates on the time where the server is located.

    I think chad is using the NNTP provider so it would be up to the BBS to include
    the TZUTC kludge in his case and that TZUTC looks correct for his location, close anyway.

    I've never used the NNTP provider so I'm not quite sure what's going on there.
